General
And even though these moments are simple
Are short
Are unexceptional portions of a complete twenty-four
Hour period
Two complete turns around the clock face
I feel that they quiver
They
Quake
With the completeness of
Their reason and the exceptional breadth
Of their portions
Exceeds the breadth of the day
Which without them would seem
Very small
And
Empty
Like a white house with its curtains drawn closed
With its face all chipping away
And no smiles
In the window
Haunting
And
Quiet
Are short
Are unexceptional portions of a complete twenty-four
Hour period
Two complete turns around the clock face
I feel that they quiver
They
Quake
With the completeness of
Their reason and the exceptional breadth
Of their portions
Exceeds the breadth of the day
Which without them would seem
Very small
And
Empty
Like a white house with its curtains drawn closed
With its face all chipping away
And no smiles
In the window
Haunting
And
Quiet
